1432 What Happened Back Then (4)
If it were anyone else, they might have been suspicious. After all, meat pies didn’t fall from the sky, and even if one did, it wouldn’t fall on their heads.
Other people might not necessarily have believed it, but for some reason, Xu Jianmin really did. When everyone in the village was apprehensive and doubting how real the Buddha was, Xu Jianmin not only took the lead in declaring his faith, he also had someone help him carry the Buddha statue to his house to be worshiped for three days and three nights.
Even when she wasn’t sure what was going on, when Aunt Miao first saw the Buddha statue, it didn’t give her a good feeling at all.
Not long after Xu Jianmin invited the Buddha statue into their home, Aunt Miao’s worries came true. First of all, her son grew weaker and weaker. Although this child hadn’t been in good health before, he had improved a lot under her meticulous care. However, as soon as the Buddha statue was brought into the house, Ranran’s complexion became worse, and he would faint after taking a few steps.
It was also because of this that Mother Xu disliked the child even more. When Aunt Miao didn’t get pregnant again after a few years, Mother Xu wanted more and more for Xu Jianmin to marry a new wife and give her a new and healthy grandson.
At that time, Aunt Miao was scared out of her wits because of the child’s condition and didn’t think much of it, until one day, the child suddenly told her that ‘someone’ would come into his room at night to touch him and lick him. He was very scared. One day, he seemed to see the eyes of the Buddha pendant turn red and move.
Ranran was terrified when he said this. An ordinary woman wouldn’t believe their child, but Aunt Miao wasn’t from the village to begin with and had heard a lot from her father. Moreover, she already had doubts about the ‘benefactor’ and the Buddha which Father Pan had brought into Dashan Village.
How could she not be suspicious?
She had also been scared out of her wits at that time. After all, she had only come into contact with Gu, and didn’t know much about evil arts; she just knew that the people who cultivated evil arts were very ruthless and had no bottom line.
She was afraid that something would happen to her child. It just so happened that she had successfully cultivated two Gu Kings, a male and a female. Back then, she had cultivated these things for the sake of her child’s health, and she did have a lot of talent in this area. There were both good and bad sides to things like Gu. If they were raised well, they could save a person’s life.
So, she didn’t hesitate to let the male Gu King enter Ranran’s body.
Sure enough!
A few days later, Ran Ran said that no one entered his room again right up until the Buddha statue was taken away.
Aunt Miao finally relaxed, thinking that she had survived the calamity.
It was just that while the person who was targeting her and Ranran had let them off for now, she never thought that for his and his mother’s sake, Xu Jianmin wouldn’t let her and the child go.
In particular, after the manifestation of the so-called True Buddha Lord, Mother Xu’s recovery from her illness and his increase in fortune, Xu Jianmin increasingly felt that the True Buddha Lord really could manifest and fulfill wishes, even if it was at a price.
The human heart was greedy. Back then, Xu Jianmin could still be a little soft-hearted when it came to his son, but after he discovered that this Buddha really was effective, he abandoned all conscience in order to fulfill his desires and no longer cared about family ties as he ‘sold’ Aunt Miao and Ranran to those devils.
She and Ranran were luckier than most in that she was good with Gu. She had put a Gu King in Ranran’s body long ago, and that thing raised by that ‘benefactor’ was repelled by the Gu. It was also because she was good with Gu that it didn’t dare attack her easily.
It hadn’t been easy for her to keep her life, but she never thought that her own son would still die at the hands of that old woman and her son.
In the eyes of the Xu mother and son, it wasn’t a happy thing that Aunt Miao and Ranran survived. Ever since the Buddha ‘manifested’ and the Xu family suddenly became rich, the Xu mother and son were afraid of offending the expert and the Buddha, so when Aunt Miao went out to work one day, that old woman secretly gave Ranran rat poison and killed him.
She even personally handed Ranran over to that ‘benefactor.’
If that old woman and Xu Jianmin hadn’t suffered retribution later, Aunt Miao wouldn’t have let them off so easily.
Xu Jianmin died tragically at the hands of the Buddha. Aunt Miao saw with her own eyes how Xu Jianmin’s body suddenly caught fire one night after he left the village. In the end, he was burned to ash and couldn’t be any more dead.
As for that old woman, she saw her own son die in front of her eyes. She was so agitated and too old that she died on the spot.
Aunt Miao didn’t have the slightest bit of sympathy for the mother and son; she was even secretly happy at their sudden deaths. It could only be said that it was karmic retribution.
In particular, when that old woman watched Xu Jianmin die tragically with her own eyes, she was so agitated that she stopped breathing. Aunt Miao was overjoyed, but no matter how happy she was, her son could never come back.
Aunt Miao had always intended to leave the village and find an expert to summon her child’s soul. Later, too many things happened in the village. Because many people in the village saw with their own eyes how Xu Jianmin prospered after he believed in the Buddha, they naturally started to believe in it as well.
Of course, there were still many people in the village who didn’t believe Father Pan or in that thing, but they ultimately didn’t have a good end. There was nothing Aunt Miao could do about the mishaps or deaths. For example, a family at the end of the village didn’t believe in this matter. Later, the man ‘accidentally’ fell into a trap while hunting and was impaled on thick, long and sharp spikes and killed. The rest of the family didn’t have good endings either.
At the mention of this family, Chi Shuyan, Feng Yuanlin, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan’s expressions changed. Wu Haoming had also investigated this matter before and had told the rest about it. They had also investigated the Xu family, but had only found some superficial information. They didn’t know as much as Aunt Miao. After learning about the Xu family, Chi Shuyan, Feng Yuanlin, Xiao Shan and Wu Haoming all sympathized with Aunt Miao.
As for Director Wang and the others, they were horrified by what they had heard. They empathized with Aunt Miao’s experience, but it made their faces turn completely white and their hands shake. It was a good thing that they had already left the village – if they were still there, who knew how scared and flustered they would be.
Director Wang wanted to speak, but because of his fear, his lips trembled nonstop and he couldn’t utter a word.
Chi Shuyan asked, “What happened in the village after that? Did an earthquake happen?”
